Dear Regina M; I was wondering where this earthquake was. No, I have never experienced an earthquake here. The last I remember was in Newcastle (google Newcastle Australia) in 1989.I had just moved up from NSW to Queensland, where we live now. Your header is very beautiful I like that wine coloured Alamanda, or is it an other name?

Hi there..it was 7.6 off the coast of N. Zealand..I guess on the 15th of July. I imagined it would be too far but thought possibly there would be some movement in the ocean. Your right, it is just that..a wine colored alamanda- hey thanks Tatania-

Heaven overreaches you and me, And all earth's gardens and her graves. Look up with me, until we see The day break and the shadows flee. What though to-night wrecks you and me-If so to-morrow saves? Taken from (Leaves of Life)..Signer Crispi
